Speaker 1 (00:02):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Jetty and He live live live from studio.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
See see Sanel a dimly lit room deeper than the
followers of the Armstrong and Getting Communications Compound and today
we are toiling Under the title of the show, the
Southern Progressive Loots Center gets its come up as or.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
If you prefer Trump remembers which side is the enemy? Does?
I hope you're more optimistic than I am.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
I'm not very optimistic. I see glimmers glmmers. I was
written the New York Post editorial board last night was
basically like, come on, what are you, Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
That was basically their piece.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Yeah, and fair enough. Another round of fire between Iran
and Israel and Hezblah has Trump saying Israel stop it.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Good God.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I'm more worried about us versus Iran and them shooting
down our helicopter and our response being I guess we
ought to do something. We better, we kind of have to,
but we're only doing it because we have to. I'm
not going any further than that, So come on, what
is that? What the hell is going on here? I
have not heard a better explanation than desperate lust for
(01:41):
the big deal, and if another round of fighting seems
to push that off further into the future, Trump has
no taste for it. I could be wrong, but again
I haven't heard a better explanation.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I'll tell you. I am Joe Scarborough.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I can't stand was on Morning Joe this morning, but
he said, hey, uh, hey, conservatives, magas whatever you call
yourself on the right side of things, If Joe Biden
or Barack Obama reacted this way to an Apache helicopter
being shot down by the Iranians, how would you respond?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
What would you be thinking about that? We would go
ber zerk.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, of course we would be talk radio would be
just on top of that.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, Like what that's a good point. I don't I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I think you're right, but I don't get how you're
You're you so think you can get a deal that
passiving passive, being passive on your way to that deal
is going to work in the face of these lunatics
who only understand power and need to just be pummeled
into submission. Ah, it really is frustrating things would be
(02:49):
different under President Rubio. That's all I'm saying. I'm a marcoist.
When the New York Post is, you know, calling you
Jimmy Carter, that's rough.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oof.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
They also pointed out as of last night and might
be a higher number now thirty seven times, or it's
now thirty eight times.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Thirty eight times.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Trump has said we're very close to a deal, We've
almost got it, and it starts thirty thirty eight as
of today.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Oh, it's kind of ridiculous. Keep up. It's kind of ridiculous,
and a little confusion over the fact that jd.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Vance yesterday said it's gonna be it could be easily
be a month or longer. So Trump saying two days
is vice president saying a month or longer. Trump has
said we're within hours or days for well, he said
it thirty eight times, and uh, I don't know. I
don't know where we are in this whole thing. So
it's very frustrating to me. And back to my boy Marco.
(03:53):
President Trump's secretary of State unleashed one of the best,
most articulate and concise descriptions of radical Islam, fundamentalist Islam,
and his evils, So he's not sleeping on Iran, as
the kids say, not a bit. Well, then which advisors
is it? So, editorial board of the New York Post.
(04:14):
As I mentioned, Trump's advisors are letting Taran play him
for a sucker. So I guess maybe they wrote it
that headline that way to put it on his advisors
as opposed to on him, because he's unreachable. He's the
you know, he's the ultimate decision maker. H Yeah, I
(04:35):
find it very difficult to believe. I think maybe he
isn't maneuver. You're right, they were trying to pressure the
Rubios and Hexiths and fellas like that to exert more
pressure on Trump. But I can't picture Rubio being soft
on it and thinking, hey, let's not like make him mad,
let's just hit him a little bit because they shot
down our copter.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
No, no freaking way hext's not saying that. Certainly, Lindsey
Graham is not. No. Well, bless my soul.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
He won his primary going away and ran shot all
kinds of rockets and missiles at various targets, including our
navy and other military base, and we were able to
shoot those down, or at least so we are told.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Sometimes we find out later that you know, we have
injuries or whatever.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
But God, do we need to make it so clear
to bad guys you can't do that. Over the years
and several presidents, I don't understand how we got to
this place of if you shoot at us and we
deflect it, it doesn't really count. And that just doesn't
make any sense. You got to make a rule. Don't
shoot at the United States.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Right.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
We picture the cops. Some suspect squeezes off three shots
with them. The cops say, ah, just squeeze off three
shots back at them.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Okay, just three shots. That's insane.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yeah, or and it's worth mentioning because I was just
reading about this that the Patriot missiles, which run a
couple of million dollars each, you know, our main missile
defense tools, and take years to restock.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
We can't just run.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Through those like it's nothing. Well, they shot at us,
but we shot them all down. Okay, we just spent
thirty million dollars, set us back another three months or
whatever it happens to be to fully restock our arm
mens and blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
That's not without cost.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
And you point out the human costs because sometimes they
get through. I am baffled by this whole chapter and
Trump's passivity.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Explain.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
You know, we got that great note from JT and
Livermore the other day comparing this situation to the one
with Ukraine, where unquestionably our ally the western leaning, eurocentric,
trying to clean up corruption, trying to get away from
Russia side is the one that gets the hard arm twisting.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
What the hell?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Yeah, and again, if Joe Biden did that, Fox and
anybody on the right would be going nuts. Sure, you're
trying to limit Israel's response, not Iran's response. Now, I
did see David Ignatius of the Washington Post is saying
today that the stuff we did in Iran yesterday hit
(07:16):
a whole bunch of different targets. Looks like a shaping operation,
as in that could be laying the groundwork for another
major strike. Okay, Trump did say some things, according to
Trey Ginks, that hinted that, all right, I'm out of patience.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, some of those for you. Trump Trumps such an
interesting dude.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
So he says things that are completely over the top,
like We're going to wipe the civilization off the planet
of the Earth and then when a helicopter gets shot down,
you say, well, we're out of self defense. You gotta
admit we have no choice here. We got to do
something like, well, who's he worried about angering? Is he
worried about the Magga crowd that is anti war and
(08:00):
feels like he deceived them? Is he worried about angering
the Iranians? And I don't know what's going on there,
but man, I want stronger talk. You do not shoot
at American helicopters. If you do that again, we're going
to reduce carg Island to rubble and do it or
just do it.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
You don't have to say do it again. There's been
enough war here. Just do it. Good point. I'm with
the Armstrong doctrine.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Anyway, we got more on that a little bit later. Hey,
we're actually talking to Steve Hilton today, which is pretty cool. He,
as of yesterday, officially is in the running for governor
of the state of California. The top two are the
ridiculous Javier basera former HHS secretary who is laughed at
in his own administration. Biden administration running is Democrat. Steve
(08:50):
Hilton running is a Republican and we'll have Steve Hilton
on a little bit later today.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
So that's good stuff, right.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Also some great audio from that absolute perfect humiliation of
the Southern Poverty Law Center in a hearing in Congress,
and we'll talk to one of the congressmen who was there.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Boy, that was too late in coming.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Everybody in you know, the talk radio world has known
that the Southern Poverty Law Center has been a joke
for decades, and they just.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Finally are getting their comeupance.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
But well, as I characterize them cleverly, if I do
say so myself, the Southern Progressive Loot Center, because that's
what they've been place. I've got such a great example of, uh,
you've got to create a feeling of victimization to raise money.
It may be the most exquisite possible example of that
centered around the world.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Cup oddly enough, but stay tuned, stay tuned for so much.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
To not have such a negative tone, we should talk
about what we've all learned about our Navy's drone abilities,
the drone operation to rescue those two pilots from the
Apache helicopter and other drone boat ship things we've got
that we have learned over the last twenty four. Really
pretty spectacular, and I'm supposed we're putting that information out
both for Iran and China and anybody else out there.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Look at this stuff. We have pretty amazing stuff.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
And hey, also on the positive side, well I should
say this. Oh, I'll just start from the beginning. I
have had a not terribly serious medical thing for twenty
years and I've been to multiple doctors and they're like,
I don't know, here's an antibiotic. And I finally asked
(10:30):
Claude and I was like, oh, yeah, this is what's
going on. Here's a specialist you need to say, and
it's right, it's one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Really, Yeah, you solved it with Claude after twenty years. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
It took me what a ninety seconds to type it.
Maybe that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah. Cool.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
It'll take your job and ruin your life and harvest
your organs. But meantime we're all very very productive. Those
first two guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
To be true pretty much.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Well, ah, I've got a great This is the sort
of thing only the Wall Street Journal can do. They
got together sixteen leading economists who've been studying AI in
its probable effects on the economy and said what do
you guys think about this, that, and the other, and
have like ten say it'll do this, for say it'll
do this, only.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Two say it'll do this. So it's kind of a
panel of thinkers like that sort of thing. So let's
start the show officially.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getti on this it is
How did it already get to be Wednesday, June tenth, year,
twenty twenty six, where Armstrong and getting we approve of
this program. All right, let's begin then officially according the
FCC rules and REGs, here we go at Mark.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Now, I just spoke with President Trump, and following the
US strikes against Iran overnight and the Iranian missile attacks
against US forces in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan, the President
tells Fox News he may keep going and that he
is getting closer to the targeting of Iranian power plants
and bridges.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
He told Fox.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
That the Iranians are tapping the US along as it
relates toward reaching a negotiated settlement to formerly end this conflict.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Got Trump, of all people, Trump, of all people, dude,
how do you not understand that you look ridiculous saying
at this point I think our end's tapping?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Is along really what you're the art of the deal?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Come on, I think you you mentioned it yesterday. He
can't conceive of religious fanaticism or you know, a Vladimir
Putin's style conquest lust. He just doesn't get it. He
thinks everybody wants to make a deal to make more money. Yeah, anyway,
we got headlines in the way and lots to talk about.
(12:39):
Graham Plantner squeaked out of fifty point win in May,
so he's gonna be a burglar to celebrate. Oh my god, Okay,
we got all that on the way. Stay here. We
got game war tonight in the NBA playoffs in New
(13:02):
York City.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Trump's not going to that one, though, so that makes
it a little easier for everybody who's going.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
I'm not going, nor am I. Indeed, Hey, let's figure
out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Heather Myers. Heather,
what's happening?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Oh Jack, good morning. Let's find out how the networks
are covering the news this morning, starting with the store
you've been talking about From CNN. Trump says Iran will
pay the price for taking too long to negotiate. From
Fox News, US strikes iron and retaliation for Apache shootdown,
and from The New York Post, Trump reading news strikes
on Iranian power plants and bridges, saying have to pay
(13:39):
the price.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I hope so, I hope he means it.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
From ABC News this morning, Bill Gates to face questions
from House Oversight panel regarding his relationship with Epstein.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Oh boy, you know, Bill.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Gus reminds me a lot of Tiger Woods. The geek
didn't get the girls as a youngster, you know, allis
student whatever. Became super rich and super famous and had
like access to all the pleasures of the world, and
he just didn't know when to say when.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
If I just his poor ex wife jan Yeah, no
kidding yeah. From NBC News. More than two hundred million
dollars later, Tom Steyer's second bid for elected office is done.
From CBS News. Graham Platner projected to win Maine Democratic
Senate primaries, setting up race against GOP Senator Susan Collins.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
We will play some of his acceptance speech from last night.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
It was really really good.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
If you knew nothing about his background, you'd think, a man,
this is my guy. He's good at that right. He
is a skilled and charismatic speaker.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Definitely the story.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
All over social media, making major headlines this morning, this
one at a news Nation. Carmelo Anthony sentenced to thirty
five years for Austin Metcalf murder. That's that story out.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Of text us.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, we talked about that much, but it was it
was so open and shut, but became a racial matter
because that's all the defense had was to try to
polarize people racially. The evidence was just overwhelming. Yeah, we'll
go through that a little later. It seemed pretty Yeah,
a black and white to me. Well, I shouldn't say
you the term black and white, because that's what the
issue became.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
From ABC News, inflation jumps to four point two percent,
the highest since early twenty twenty three. Yeah, yeah, that
story breaking right now. ABC News reporting that sellers are
pulling their homes off the market at the fastest pace
in years. From CNN, Air Canada, a pilot flew passengers
(15:48):
for years with a fake pilot's license.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Wow. Wow, Wow, Wow.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Is there any way you can cross check that? Maybe
you call the flight school.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Remember that movie Catch Me if you can Leonardo DiCaprio's
so good.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yes, From the La Times, California's new Hell's Angels are
teens on e bikes.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Yeah, boy, my teens are some of them.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
My teens are begging to be some of them.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
It's fun.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Well, I was riding it the other day, man, I
wrote to the grocery store the other day.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That thing is fun.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Don't be a monster like jack Heather keeps those kids up.
It's just one step from there to lawlessness in prison,
Jackie Pop.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
And Wheeli's on that thing in the middle of an intersection.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Uh no, I can't. And I don't let my kids
do that either.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
That's good, all right.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
And finally, this morning from the Babylon Bee, Los Angeles
officials warn it may take several weeks to tally up
goals from World Cup matches.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
I love that, Hey, that inflation story is not a
minor story. In fact, it could be overall politically the
biggest story of.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
The day, even with everything going on.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I don't want to seem like I'm beating up on Trump,
but he just got a couple new tariffs going that
are impossible to explain. Yeah, we'll get a little of
the details on this inflation stuff and other stories coming up.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Armstrong and getty yet.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
This Apparently there's a new dating trend called kitten fishing,
where people tell small lies about themselves in the early
stages of dating to make themselves seem more attractive.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
So dating.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Getting fishing sounds like something you do with your uncle
Jasper in West Virginia.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
You put your hanging in whatever you get, you're you
take whatever you get. Hi, kittenfish all everything doesn't need
a name.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Getting fishing exaggerating a little on a first date to
be more appeeling. Yeah, no kidding, dating that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Ah boy.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
There is a new sheriff in town in San Francisco,
and the proof is out today. We'll get to that.
So inflation numbers came out. Economics is not my wheelhouse,
as I've said many many times, and I don't care
for it to be. It's too late in life to
learn a new thing. I care about some other issues
that I feel like I know a lot about. I
don't know a lot about economics. But I don't understand this.
(18:26):
Maybe somebody can explain it to me. They put out
the inflation numbers. You're the Wall Street Journal, for instance.
You're the freaking Wall Street Journal. You're the go to
what's the economy doing in America or the world newspaper
of record.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
And you do headlines inflation highest, that's been whatever.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Then two paragraphs in you'll say, although core inflation, which
is the number economists turn to to actually know what
inflation is doing, well.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Then give us that.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
If that's what people actually use to know what inflation
is doing, why do you give us the other number.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It's like you're always saying about the Dow.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Smart people who actually invest don't look at the Dow number,
but they give us the Dow numbers the headline all
the time. Why is that, jack, you fool you not
the Dow thing? The other thing, Oh, you fool, you
fool because you're more likely to click on the inflation
heated up highest level in months. It's it's a more
(19:26):
compelling story. And then a couple of paragraphs in they say,
but you don't need to worry about it that much
because it's a momentary hiking fuel crisis. Yeah, sixty percent
of the big rise in overall inflation is gas because
of the war. And you strip that out, which again
is the way economists to actually want to know what
(19:46):
inflation is doing, look at it and they tell you soon.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
To be worried at all.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
I tell you, though, what they strip out generally is
energy and food. M Now, I can stay at home
and I could sit here sweating, but if I ain't
got any food, I'm gonna die. So how do you
strip out food?
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
I realize it's volatile, so it's less a trend indicator
of solid trends. But meantime, core prices, which is the
way economists look at it, rose point two percent, which
was cooler than the point four percent in April, not hotter,
which is the overall headline, and less than what economists
had expected. So it actually was better news than what
(20:34):
they are expecting. The headline is worse news than what
we've expected. The opposite of what they say is what
the real news is.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
So I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I say we returned to the obsession of twenty twenty four.
What's the price of eggs? Let's talk about the price
of eggs every single day.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Oh that reminds me of a comedy bit from Adam Carolla.
I became aware of yesterday. Ummm, I have to do
that later. Very very funny. So anyway, the inflation the
overall number, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
It's what people feel, and I, like Joe just pointed out,
I actually buy fuel and use energy, especially in the
summer when it's hot, so I can't really strip those
out and say, good God, it costs me two hundred
and thirty dollars to fill up my truck, and my
electricity bill is one thousand dollars a month. Yes, it
actually is in California. To cool my house thousand dollars
(21:24):
a month. It's like having another house payment. Um, But
I stripped those out, so I'm not I strip those.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Numbers out, so I'm not really concerned about it. That
doesn't make any sense. No, No, it does.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
More people, I will say this, I was thinking about this.
More people in real life bring up to me how
expensive stuff is. Than the Warner the war than Epstein,
than the East Wing being torn down. There are lots
of other stories that make the news. People do mention
to me, good God, that's expensive, for this is expensive,
or that it's expensive. Speaking of which is a guy
(21:56):
who's criticized Trump already in the first forty minutes of
the show, I will say, I love his idea of
a celebratory arch to celebrate the nation's two hundred and
fiftieth birthday.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I think it's a great idea. I don't know that
where they building an arch and how bigy.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
In d C.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Obviously, it's two hundred and fifty feet tall and looks beautiful.
It reminds me of the Ard Triumph in Paris. But anyway,
here's my favorite headline of the day. The FDA the
food and I'm sorry, is that the FDA's at the
USDA Department of Agriculture has an entire department for insect defense.
(22:31):
You know, invasive insects that the damn screwworm. Oh, a
dog in New Mexico is found with this screwworm. Jack,
So you need to be working at screwworm desk like
you were the other day, to get to.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Work something about your open wounds. Keep your rify closed.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Anyway, So the USDA, I'll just read you the headline,
the federal government's insect defense agency is infested with bedbugs.
The department has had to send their entire staff home
twice and is doing a lot of remote work and
that sort of thing. That is such a bad look.
(23:08):
That is hilarious. Way to go giant government. So the
new sheriff in town in San Francisco story is this,
back in the day, if you shut down a major freeway,
including the Golden Gate Bridge, you didn't get penalized at
all because they agreed with your protest. And chess Abodeine,
(23:30):
the DA was like, you go shut down these capitalist
scumbags in honor of trying to stop a war or
ice or.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Whatever it is in the capitalism.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
We'll cuff you briefly, then give you a shoulder rub
and send you home with a little extra money provided
by Kamala Harris. San Francisco just get fed up. They
bring in a new mayor, and they bring in a
new DA to replace Chessabodeine. And then this new person,
Brooke Jenkins, fifteen years they're going after for this latest
group that shut down the Golden Gate Bridge in a protest.
(24:02):
Fifteen years in prison. You won't get that, but you go, Brook,
you go, girl. The sound of that. I love the
sound of it. And no way too scary to shut
down a bridge or a major freeway because animal rights
or whatever the hell.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
I'm not going to go to a prison for a decade.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Gaza is a jenoside, right, love it, Yeah, love it.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
There is a limit, as we've seen in San Francisco,
but they haven't reached it in Los Angeles yet because
they wouldn't go for Spencer Prett. Here's the Armstrong and
Getty doctrine. It's going to take a while to lay out.
So maybe freshen up your coffee or whatever. Enforce the law.
It is speaking of San Francisco on that is a
good one.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Or change it, or change it.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
If people have decided, you know what, we don't want
anybody to pay a price for shutting down freeways, then
change the law. But if the law's going to continue
to be this, and force the law right, So speaking
of San Francisco, I referenced this earlier in the hour.
This is perhaps the perfect story about how the left
and this is not trying to kick him. It's trying
(25:06):
to understand a psychology because this sort of thing fascinates me.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
The left needs to feel afraid. It brings them together.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
They feel like victims, but then they commune with other
people who are afraid, and they love that feeling of
acceptance and community and stuff like that. But the Southern
poverty law center made zillions dollars through the years, and
we'll be getting into this later by you know, just
jacking up people's fears of white supremacy, wait, wait, way
(25:36):
beyond its actual existence and labeled anybody to the right
of I don't know, Joe Mansion a hate group and
the rest of it. San Francisco chronicle the open hostility
to gay rights in today's US creates an anxious environment
for fans traveling to attend World Cup matches pride houses
(25:58):
such as the one in San Francisco for a safe
haven and as the prominent brilliant lesbian Nelly bowles, right,
they have a safe haven pride house in San Francisco, California.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
She quotes the article.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
The United States is a real nightmare in terms of
queer travelers and ice raids and racial profiling, says a
pride house international Canadian guy. They're right, The queer travelers
I've encountered are a total nightmare. Blah blah blah, and
Nelly says, yeah, they are a nightmare. Why are they
always asking about salad substitutions for those keeping score at home?
(26:33):
The last World Cup the one before, like La and
Seattle was hosted by Cutter, where sex between men is
literally illegal and punishing, punishable by up to seven years
in jail. What did the Chronicle right at the time,
They defended Cutter against critique. In fact, their opinion section
(26:55):
ran this story. The Western media's World Cup coverage has
put its anti Muslim bias on full display. That's San Francisco.
It's too hostile to gaze here. Be careful.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
I saw a lady yesterday and I thought she was
holding a monkey and it turned out it was a dog.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
H hand, they've seen monkey dog.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
And I said to the woman and I said, I
thought you were holding a monkey. And she looked at
me like I was crazy. And both my kids said, Dad,
that didn't look anything like a monkey.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
So I don't know. Anyway, I hope she gets her
dog rough Greens so it looks less monkey like. It's
a great story though. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Rough Greens is America's number one dog supplement. You sprinkle
right on their food. It's packed with probiotics, enzyme, so
mega oils, and over twenty live vitamins and minerals to
support digestion, energy, and overall health from the inside out.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
All about you making your dog live longer and happier. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
I love the fact that it's made in the USA
and the fact that you can try it for nothing.
Jumpstart Trial bag is free. All you do is cover
the shipping. Go to Roughgreens dot com and use a
discount code Armstrong. That's are you f f greens dot
com discount code armstrong. Give it to your monkey who cares.
I won't do it any harm. Most dog owners don't
realize the live nutrients and their dog that their dog needs,
(28:18):
the thrives probably missing from their food. Roughgreens dot com.
Use that code Armstrong. Roughgreens They make any dog food better.
I like talking to people because my kid. It embarrasses
my kids just to no end. Yeah, my teenagers and
they and they often say, Dad, is that that's the
most old man thing you've ever said to anyone?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Perfect?
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Keep going well, that means you got to keep pushing
the bounds. You got to keep sitting records.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Hey.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Final thought on the World Cup this from the Washington Post.
Public health officials has spent years preparing for the tournaments.
Because you got a bunch of furriners right with their
fern diseases coming to our land and then trading it
amongst each other. And they say impola and hantavirus are
not what anybody's worried about, speaking of bit, but they
(29:02):
are really keeping their eyes out for measles, dengay, and
respiratory viruses and sexually transmitted infections that are already circulating. Well,
I'm not going to get the sexually transmitted ones, but
so could I get down with that attitude?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
You're not.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
You could absolutely get deng gay. I don't know if
I'm inoculated against that. I got a measle shot one
sixty years ago, so I should be good. Isn't dingay
Mosquito born so tropical disease? Yes, indeed, Puerto Rico has
recently experienced major dengay activity. USA place Paraguay Friday so
far in Los Angeles, where the Chargers and Rams play,
(29:45):
whoop those Paraguayans. We're send them back home we're supposed
to or much more high. It would be a crazy
upset for us to lose. We've got mail bag on
the way and lots about the news.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Stay here.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
By the way, I mentioned USA taking on Paraguay Friday.
It is sofi Stadium. But for the World Cup Soccer,
it's not Sofi Stadium. It's Los Angeles Stadium. Oh yeah,
because they didn't pay for the rights for during this event,
so it has a different name. So we'll call it
Los Angeles Stadium during the World Cup. Fair enough, here's
your freedom loving quote of the day, sent along by
(30:25):
JT as a gift to the good people of Los Angeles.
Now that the wise people of LA have chosen their
two mayoral finalists, two famous quotes come to mind. First,
hl Menken famously, democracy is the theory that the common
people know what they want and deserve to get it
good and hard, or the great Joseph di Maestra, Every
(30:46):
nation or city gets the government it deserves. Although the
you know thirty percent who are sane are like, oh
my God, help us, help us now you can the
forty five percent that are saying and still get trampled
by the idiots, right.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Indeed, trampled by idiots. That's a bad way to go.
Mail Bag prop snow mail bag at Armstrong and gettiot
dot com on that topic. Good morning, Joe.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Right, Sir Brian, you remember a few months ago when
all those videos started surfacing about people registering junkies to vote.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
What do you think happened?
Speaker 4 (31:24):
All those ballots might be legal in California, but to
say these are free and fair elections as total horse crap.
I feel disenfranchised. When Jack makes noises like he's okay
with the primary election result, I cringe.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Can we keep some perspective here? Some matter? Sorry, I
think it was stolen.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
It's just that's that's that's that's the people getting what
they want. Good and hard could be. On the other hand,
and I want to get into this, nearly twelve hundred
people registered to vote with their address being a homeless
shelter on skid row that has one hundred and thirty
two beds.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Twelve ballots were then delivered to that homeless shelter and
they were harvested and returned.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Nice process.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
By the way, we're talking to Steve Hilton, who is
going to be running against a Democrat for governor. We'll
talk to him an hour, two hour two indeed, how
about this? Oh boy, did we get a lot of
email on this topic. Michael, you're ready for this, Barry right.
It took me most of the day not yet to
get that voice out of my head. You know which one,
(32:29):
the guy question Mark who vetted Platner. Well, at least
we now have a perfect replacement for Scott Pelley. Welcome back,
Michael Angelou says. And then this Sarah and Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Please no more of p hustles Eddie non Vetter the here.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
No, not yet, not yet, Michael. I'm sorry I pointed
at you. I was pointing at Jack. How clever is
that Eddie non vetter? Yes, yes, vetter who sounds like
an emasculated transparent stuck in the eternal interrogative. It's a
crime against ears and cerebral Cortexas.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
Part of our thesis here is that people do not
want their candidates grown in vets. They want people who
are real human beings, and they want people who do
not look and sound like the background people who've been
leading this country off a cliff for last century.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
And that was Graham the last century. Oh my god,
my testosterone just dropped thirty five points.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
By the way, that was one of the best sentences
I've ever heard. What was that about the stuck in
an interrogative parrot?
Speaker 7 (33:38):
Thing?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
That was really really good?
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Yes, absolutely terrific. Yeah, yeah, I will read it again.
Fans of the English language, I agree, please know more
of p. Hustle's Eddie non vetter, who sounds like an
emasculated transparent stuck in the eternal interrogative. It's a crime
against ears in cerebral cortexis really good courtesies apologize Sarah
(34:01):
in Kentucky very clever.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
That's beautiful Sarah.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
That's one of the finer sentences enunciated on the show,
and sometimes including the host.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
God knows, he may have the worst male voice I
have ever heard.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
It is so self consciously effeminate, vocal fry e up talkie, yeah,
oh my.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Gosh, stuck in the eternal interrogative. If he has kahone's
at all, they're like raisins.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
I assume that and had never done or said anything. Well,
I can only assume he's a Unich for some reason.
He had his testes room. So I saw the video yesterday.
He looks like he sounds oh yeah, oh weedy. He's
never driven by a nice, rare steak, even he's never
been in the same zip code, as as as some
(34:55):
decent protein. Wow, jeez. He always a dependable side show.
Bob weighing in on a different topic. I finally figure
out why these AI systems worry me. Oh coming up,
I think next Hour will squeeze this in sixteen noted
economists with their thoughts and predictions on how disruptive AI
will be to the economy. Super interesting anyway, side Joe
(35:19):
Bob Wright. So I finally figured out why these AI
systems worry me. I feel that are like the government.
They start with good intentions and a specific set of tasks,
but they quickly learn to grow and feed upon themselves
to become more integral to everyday life, until they direct
virtually everything we do. Took a couple one hundred years
for our government to accomplish this. I doubt it'll take
nearly that long for these AI models. Until then, though,
I can get seven hundred recipes for chocolate cake. True enough,
(35:43):
sidehovah or it diagnosed my medical Yeah, you got to
tell that story.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
That's really interesting. Yeah, I'm telling you amazing. Do we
have thirty seconds? It would take too long.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
So we're pretty proud to have Steve Hilton on the
day after he gets named one of the top two
finishers in the jungle.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
I'm Mary of California.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
If to be governor and we'll see where he is
now that he's running in the general election against Tavier
Bassera or what did Joe Biden, his boss call him
Javior baka, right, and they laughed him.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Out of the administration because he was so useless.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
Anyway, our two is going to be great. If you
don't get it. Gets the podcast Armstrong and Getty on
demand
Speaker 6 (36:24):
Armstrong and Getty

Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and.
Speaker 2 (00:11):

Speaker 3 (00:26):
See see Sanel a dimly lit room deeper than the
followers of the Armstrong and Getting Communications Compound and today
we are toiling Under the title of the show, the
Southern Progressive Loots Center gets its come up as or.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
If you prefer Trump remembers which side is the enemy? Does?
I hope you're more optimistic than I am.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
I'm not very optimistic. I see glimmers glmmers. I was
written the New York Post editorial board last night was
basically like, come on, what are you, Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
That was basically their piece.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Yeah, and fair enough. Another round of fire between Iran
and Israel and Hezblah has Trump saying Israel stop it.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Good God.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I'm more worried about us versus Iran and them shooting
down our helicopter and our response being I guess we
ought to do something. We better, we kind of have to,
but we're only doing it because we have to. I'm
not going any further than that, So come on, what
is that? What the hell is going on here? I
have not heard a better explanation than desperate lust for
(01:41):
the big deal, and if another round of fighting seems
to push that off further into the future, Trump has
no taste for it. I could be wrong, but again
I haven't heard a better explanation.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I'll tell you. I am Joe Scarborough.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I can't stand was on Morning Joe this morning, but
he said, hey, uh, hey, conservatives, magas whatever you call
yourself on the right side of things, If Joe Biden
or Barack Obama reacted this way to an Apache helicopter
being shot down by the Iranians, how would you respond?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
What would you be thinking about that? We would go
ber zerk.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, of course we would be talk radio would be
just on top of that.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, Like what that's a good point. I don't I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I think you're right, but I don't get how you're
You're you so think you can get a deal that
passiving passive, being passive on your way to that deal
is going to work in the face of these lunatics
who only understand power and need to just be pummeled
into submission. Ah, it really is frustrating things would be
(02:49):
different under President Rubio. That's all I'm saying. I'm a marcoist.
When the New York Post is, you know, calling you
Jimmy Carter, that's rough.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oof.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
They also pointed out as of last night and might
be a higher number now thirty seven times, or it's
now thirty eight times.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Thirty eight times.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Trump has said we're very close to a deal, We've
almost got it, and it starts thirty thirty eight as
of today.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Oh, it's kind of ridiculous. Keep up. It's kind of ridiculous,
and a little confusion over the fact that jd.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Vance yesterday said it's gonna be it could be easily
be a month or longer. So Trump saying two days
is vice president saying a month or longer. Trump has
said we're within hours or days for well, he said
it thirty eight times, and uh, I don't know. I
don't know where we are in this whole thing. So
it's very frustrating to me. And back to my boy Marco.
(03:53):
President Trump's secretary of State unleashed one of the best,
most articulate and concise descriptions of radical Islam, fundamentalist Islam,
and his evils, So he's not sleeping on Iran, as
the kids say, not a bit. Well, then which advisors
is it? So, editorial board of the New York Post.
(04:14):
As I mentioned, Trump's advisors are letting Taran play him
for a sucker. So I guess maybe they wrote it
that headline that way to put it on his advisors
as opposed to on him, because he's unreachable. He's the
you know, he's the ultimate decision maker. H Yeah, I
(04:35):
find it very difficult to believe. I think maybe he
isn't maneuver. You're right, they were trying to pressure the
Rubios and Hexiths and fellas like that to exert more
pressure on Trump. But I can't picture Rubio being soft
on it and thinking, hey, let's not like make him mad,
let's just hit him a little bit because they shot
down our copter.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
No, no freaking way hext's not saying that. Certainly, Lindsey
Graham is not. No. Well, bless my soul.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
He won his primary going away and ran shot all
kinds of rockets and missiles at various targets, including our
navy and other military base, and we were able to
shoot those down, or at least so we are told.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Sometimes we find out later that you know, we have
injuries or whatever.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
But God, do we need to make it so clear
to bad guys you can't do that. Over the years
and several presidents, I don't understand how we got to
this place of if you shoot at us and we
deflect it, it doesn't really count. And that just doesn't
make any sense. You got to make a rule. Don't
shoot at the United States.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Right.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
We picture the cops. Some suspect squeezes off three shots
with them. The cops say, ah, just squeeze off three
shots back at them.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Okay, just three shots. That's insane.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yeah, or and it's worth mentioning because I was just
reading about this that the Patriot missiles, which run a
couple of million dollars each, you know, our main missile
defense tools, and take years to restock.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
We can't just run.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Through those like it's nothing. Well, they shot at us,
but we shot them all down. Okay, we just spent
thirty million dollars, set us back another three months or
whatever it happens to be to fully restock our arm
mens and blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
That's not without cost.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
And you point out the human costs because sometimes they
get through. I am baffled by this whole chapter and
Trump's passivity.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Explain.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
You know, we got that great note from JT and
Livermore the other day comparing this situation to the one
with Ukraine, where unquestionably our ally the western leaning, eurocentric,
trying to clean up corruption, trying to get away from
Russia side is the one that gets the hard arm twisting.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
What the hell?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Yeah, and again, if Joe Biden did that, Fox and
anybody on the right would be going nuts. Sure, you're
trying to limit Israel's response, not Iran's response. Now, I
did see David Ignatius of the Washington Post is saying
today that the stuff we did in Iran yesterday hit
(07:16):
a whole bunch of different targets. Looks like a shaping operation,
as in that could be laying the groundwork for another
major strike. Okay, Trump did say some things, according to
Trey Ginks, that hinted that, all right, I'm out of patience.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, some of those for you. Trump Trumps such an
interesting dude.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
So he says things that are completely over the top,
like We're going to wipe the civilization off the planet
of the Earth and then when a helicopter gets shot down,
you say, well, we're out of self defense. You gotta
admit we have no choice here. We got to do
something like, well, who's he worried about angering? Is he
worried about the Magga crowd that is anti war and
(08:00):
feels like he deceived them? Is he worried about angering
the Iranians? And I don't know what's going on there,
but man, I want stronger talk. You do not shoot
at American helicopters. If you do that again, we're going
to reduce carg Island to rubble and do it or
just do it.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
You don't have to say do it again. There's been
enough war here. Just do it. Good point. I'm with
the Armstrong doctrine.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Anyway, we got more on that a little bit later. Hey,
we're actually talking to Steve Hilton today, which is pretty cool. He,
as of yesterday, officially is in the running for governor
of the state of California. The top two are the
ridiculous Javier basera former HHS secretary who is laughed at
in his own administration. Biden administration running is Democrat. Steve
(08:50):
Hilton running is a Republican and we'll have Steve Hilton
on a little bit later today.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
So that's good stuff, right.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Also some great audio from that absolute perfect humiliation of
the Southern Poverty Law Center in a hearing in Congress,
and we'll talk to one of the congressmen who was there.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Boy, that was too late in coming.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Everybody in you know, the talk radio world has known
that the Southern Poverty Law Center has been a joke
for decades, and they just.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Finally are getting their comeupance.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
But well, as I characterize them cleverly, if I do
say so myself, the Southern Progressive Loot Center, because that's
what they've been place. I've got such a great example of, uh,
you've got to create a feeling of victimization to raise money.
It may be the most exquisite possible example of that
centered around the world.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Cup oddly enough, but stay tuned, stay tuned for so much.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
To not have such a negative tone, we should talk
about what we've all learned about our Navy's drone abilities,
the drone operation to rescue those two pilots from the
Apache helicopter and other drone boat ship things we've got
that we have learned over the last twenty four. Really
pretty spectacular, and I'm supposed we're putting that information out
both for Iran and China and anybody else out there.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Look at this stuff. We have pretty amazing stuff.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
And hey, also on the positive side, well I should
say this. Oh, I'll just start from the beginning. I
have had a not terribly serious medical thing for twenty
years and I've been to multiple doctors and they're like,
I don't know, here's an antibiotic. And I finally asked
(10:30):
Claude and I was like, oh, yeah, this is what's
going on. Here's a specialist you need to say, and
it's right, it's one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Really, Yeah, you solved it with Claude after twenty years. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
It took me what a ninety seconds to type it.
Maybe that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah. Cool.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
It'll take your job and ruin your life and harvest
your organs. But meantime we're all very very productive. Those
first two guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
To be true pretty much.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Well, ah, I've got a great This is the sort
of thing only the Wall Street Journal can do. They
got together sixteen leading economists who've been studying AI in
its probable effects on the economy and said what do
you guys think about this, that, and the other, and
have like ten say it'll do this, for say it'll
do this, only.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Two say it'll do this. So it's kind of a
panel of thinkers like that sort of thing. So let's
start the show officially.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getti on this it is
How did it already get to be Wednesday, June tenth, year,
twenty twenty six, where Armstrong and getting we approve of
this program. All right, let's begin then officially according the
FCC rules and REGs, here we go at Mark.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Now, I just spoke with President Trump, and following the
US strikes against Iran overnight and the Iranian missile attacks
against US forces in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan, the President
tells Fox News he may keep going and that he
is getting closer to the targeting of Iranian power plants
and bridges.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
He told Fox.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
That the Iranians are tapping the US along as it
relates toward reaching a negotiated settlement to formerly end this conflict.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Got Trump, of all people, Trump, of all people, dude,
how do you not understand that you look ridiculous saying
at this point I think our end's tapping?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Is along really what you're the art of the deal?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Come on, I think you you mentioned it yesterday. He
can't conceive of religious fanaticism or you know, a Vladimir
Putin's style conquest lust. He just doesn't get it. He
thinks everybody wants to make a deal to make more money. Yeah, anyway,
we got headlines in the way and lots to talk about.
(12:39):
Graham Plantner squeaked out of fifty point win in May,
so he's gonna be a burglar to celebrate. Oh my god, Okay,
we got all that on the way. Stay here. We
got game war tonight in the NBA playoffs in New
(13:02):
York City.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Trump's not going to that one, though, so that makes
it a little easier for everybody who's going.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
I'm not going, nor am I. Indeed, Hey, let's figure
out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Heather Myers. Heather,
what's happening?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Oh Jack, good morning. Let's find out how the networks
are covering the news this morning, starting with the store
you've been talking about From CNN. Trump says Iran will
pay the price for taking too long to negotiate. From
Fox News, US strikes iron and retaliation for Apache shootdown,
and from The New York Post, Trump reading news strikes
on Iranian power plants and bridges, saying have to pay
(13:39):
the price.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I hope so, I hope he means it.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
From ABC News this morning, Bill Gates to face questions
from House Oversight panel regarding his relationship with Epstein.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Oh boy, you know, Bill.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Gus reminds me a lot of Tiger Woods. The geek
didn't get the girls as a youngster, you know, allis
student whatever. Became super rich and super famous and had
like access to all the pleasures of the world, and
he just didn't know when to say when.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
If I just his poor ex wife jan Yeah, no
kidding yeah. From NBC News. More than two hundred million
dollars later, Tom Steyer's second bid for elected office is done.
From CBS News. Graham Platner projected to win Maine Democratic
Senate primaries, setting up race against GOP Senator Susan Collins.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
We will play some of his acceptance speech from last night.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
It was really really good.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
If you knew nothing about his background, you'd think, a man,
this is my guy. He's good at that right. He
is a skilled and charismatic speaker.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Definitely the story.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
All over social media, making major headlines this morning, this
one at a news Nation. Carmelo Anthony sentenced to thirty
five years for Austin Metcalf murder. That's that story out.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Of text us.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, we talked about that much, but it was it
was so open and shut, but became a racial matter
because that's all the defense had was to try to
polarize people racially. The evidence was just overwhelming. Yeah, we'll
go through that a little later. It seemed pretty Yeah,
a black and white to me. Well, I shouldn't say
you the term black and white, because that's what the
issue became.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
From ABC News, inflation jumps to four point two percent,
the highest since early twenty twenty three. Yeah, yeah, that
story breaking right now. ABC News reporting that sellers are
pulling their homes off the market at the fastest pace
in years. From CNN, Air Canada, a pilot flew passengers
(15:48):
for years with a fake pilot's license.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Wow. Wow, Wow, Wow.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Is there any way you can cross check that? Maybe
you call the flight school.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Remember that movie Catch Me if you can Leonardo DiCaprio's
so good.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yes, From the La Times, California's new Hell's Angels are
teens on e bikes.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Yeah, boy, my teens are some of them.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
My teens are begging to be some of them.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
It's fun.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Well, I was riding it the other day, man, I
wrote to the grocery store the other day.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That thing is fun.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Don't be a monster like jack Heather keeps those kids up.
It's just one step from there to lawlessness in prison,
Jackie Pop.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
And Wheeli's on that thing in the middle of an intersection.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Uh no, I can't. And I don't let my kids
do that either.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
That's good, all right.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
And finally, this morning from the Babylon Bee, Los Angeles
officials warn it may take several weeks to tally up
goals from World Cup matches.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
I love that, Hey, that inflation story is not a
minor story. In fact, it could be overall politically the
biggest story of.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
The day, even with everything going on.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I don't want to seem like I'm beating up on Trump,
but he just got a couple new tariffs going that
are impossible to explain. Yeah, we'll get a little of
the details on this inflation stuff and other stories coming up.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Armstrong and getty yet.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
This Apparently there's a new dating trend called kitten fishing,
where people tell small lies about themselves in the early
stages of dating to make themselves seem more attractive.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
So dating.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Getting fishing sounds like something you do with your uncle
Jasper in West Virginia.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
You put your hanging in whatever you get, you're you
take whatever you get. Hi, kittenfish all everything doesn't need
a name.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Getting fishing exaggerating a little on a first date to
be more appeeling. Yeah, no kidding, dating that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Ah boy.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
There is a new sheriff in town in San Francisco,
and the proof is out today. We'll get to that.
So inflation numbers came out. Economics is not my wheelhouse,
as I've said many many times, and I don't care
for it to be. It's too late in life to
learn a new thing. I care about some other issues
that I feel like I know a lot about. I
don't know a lot about economics. But I don't understand this.
(18:26):
Maybe somebody can explain it to me. They put out
the inflation numbers. You're the Wall Street Journal, for instance.
You're the freaking Wall Street Journal. You're the go to
what's the economy doing in America or the world newspaper
of record.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
And you do headlines inflation highest, that's been whatever.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Then two paragraphs in you'll say, although core inflation, which
is the number economists turn to to actually know what
inflation is doing, well.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Then give us that.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
If that's what people actually use to know what inflation
is doing, why do you give us the other number.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It's like you're always saying about the Dow.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Smart people who actually invest don't look at the Dow number,
but they give us the Dow numbers the headline all
the time. Why is that, jack, you fool you not
the Dow thing? The other thing, Oh, you fool, you
fool because you're more likely to click on the inflation
heated up highest level in months. It's it's a more
(19:26):
compelling story. And then a couple of paragraphs in they say,
but you don't need to worry about it that much
because it's a momentary hiking fuel crisis. Yeah, sixty percent
of the big rise in overall inflation is gas because
of the war. And you strip that out, which again
is the way economists to actually want to know what
(19:46):
inflation is doing, look at it and they tell you soon.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
To be worried at all.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
I tell you, though, what they strip out generally is
energy and food. M Now, I can stay at home
and I could sit here sweating, but if I ain't
got any food, I'm gonna die. So how do you
strip out food?
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
I realize it's volatile, so it's less a trend indicator
of solid trends. But meantime, core prices, which is the
way economists look at it, rose point two percent, which
was cooler than the point four percent in April, not hotter,
which is the overall headline, and less than what economists
had expected. So it actually was better news than what
(20:34):
they are expecting. The headline is worse news than what
we've expected. The opposite of what they say is what
the real news is.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
So I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I say we returned to the obsession of twenty twenty four.
What's the price of eggs? Let's talk about the price
of eggs every single day.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Oh that reminds me of a comedy bit from Adam Carolla.
I became aware of yesterday. Ummm, I have to do
that later. Very very funny. So anyway, the inflation the
overall number, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
It's what people feel, and I, like Joe just pointed out,
I actually buy fuel and use energy, especially in the
summer when it's hot, so I can't really strip those
out and say, good God, it costs me two hundred
and thirty dollars to fill up my truck, and my
electricity bill is one thousand dollars a month. Yes, it
actually is in California. To cool my house thousand dollars
(21:24):
a month. It's like having another house payment. Um, But
I stripped those out, so I'm not I strip those.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Numbers out, so I'm not really concerned about it. That
doesn't make any sense. No, No, it does.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
More people, I will say this, I was thinking about this.
More people in real life bring up to me how
expensive stuff is. Than the Warner the war than Epstein,
than the East Wing being torn down. There are lots
of other stories that make the news. People do mention
to me, good God, that's expensive, for this is expensive,
or that it's expensive. Speaking of which is a guy
(21:56):
who's criticized Trump already in the first forty minutes of
the show, I will say, I love his idea of
a celebratory arch to celebrate the nation's two hundred and
fiftieth birthday.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I think it's a great idea. I don't know that
where they building an arch and how bigy.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
In d C.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Obviously, it's two hundred and fifty feet tall and looks beautiful.
It reminds me of the Ard Triumph in Paris. But anyway,
here's my favorite headline of the day. The FDA the
food and I'm sorry, is that the FDA's at the
USDA Department of Agriculture has an entire department for insect defense.
(22:31):
You know, invasive insects that the damn screwworm. Oh, a
dog in New Mexico is found with this screwworm. Jack,
So you need to be working at screwworm desk like
you were the other day, to get to.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Work something about your open wounds. Keep your rify closed.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Anyway, So the USDA, I'll just read you the headline,
the federal government's insect defense agency is infested with bedbugs.
The department has had to send their entire staff home
twice and is doing a lot of remote work and
that sort of thing. That is such a bad look.
(23:08):
That is hilarious. Way to go giant government. So the
new sheriff in town in San Francisco story is this,
back in the day, if you shut down a major freeway,
including the Golden Gate Bridge, you didn't get penalized at
all because they agreed with your protest. And chess Abodeine,
(23:30):
the DA was like, you go shut down these capitalist
scumbags in honor of trying to stop a war or
ice or.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Whatever it is in the capitalism.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
We'll cuff you briefly, then give you a shoulder rub
and send you home with a little extra money provided
by Kamala Harris. San Francisco just get fed up. They
bring in a new mayor, and they bring in a
new DA to replace Chessabodeine. And then this new person,
Brooke Jenkins, fifteen years they're going after for this latest
group that shut down the Golden Gate Bridge in a protest.
(24:02):
Fifteen years in prison. You won't get that, but you go, Brook,
you go, girl. The sound of that. I love the
sound of it. And no way too scary to shut
down a bridge or a major freeway because animal rights
or whatever the hell.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
I'm not going to go to a prison for a decade.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Gaza is a jenoside, right, love it, Yeah, love it.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
There is a limit, as we've seen in San Francisco,
but they haven't reached it in Los Angeles yet because
they wouldn't go for Spencer Prett. Here's the Armstrong and
Getty doctrine. It's going to take a while to lay out.
So maybe freshen up your coffee or whatever. Enforce the law.
It is speaking of San Francisco on that is a
good one.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Or change it, or change it.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
If people have decided, you know what, we don't want
anybody to pay a price for shutting down freeways, then
change the law. But if the law's going to continue
to be this, and force the law right, So speaking
of San Francisco, I referenced this earlier in the hour.
This is perhaps the perfect story about how the left
and this is not trying to kick him. It's trying
(25:06):
to understand a psychology because this sort of thing fascinates me.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
The left needs to feel afraid. It brings them together.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
They feel like victims, but then they commune with other
people who are afraid, and they love that feeling of
acceptance and community and stuff like that. But the Southern
poverty law center made zillions dollars through the years, and
we'll be getting into this later by you know, just
jacking up people's fears of white supremacy, wait, wait, way
(25:36):
beyond its actual existence and labeled anybody to the right
of I don't know, Joe Mansion a hate group and
the rest of it. San Francisco chronicle the open hostility
to gay rights in today's US creates an anxious environment
for fans traveling to attend World Cup matches pride houses
(25:58):
such as the one in San Francisco for a safe
haven and as the prominent brilliant lesbian Nelly bowles, right,
they have a safe haven pride house in San Francisco, California.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
She quotes the article.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
The United States is a real nightmare in terms of
queer travelers and ice raids and racial profiling, says a
pride house international Canadian guy. They're right, The queer travelers
I've encountered are a total nightmare. Blah blah blah, and
Nelly says, yeah, they are a nightmare. Why are they
always asking about salad substitutions for those keeping score at home?
(26:33):
The last World Cup the one before, like La and
Seattle was hosted by Cutter, where sex between men is
literally illegal and punishing, punishable by up to seven years
in jail. What did the Chronicle right at the time,
They defended Cutter against critique. In fact, their opinion section
(26:55):
ran this story. The Western media's World Cup coverage has
put its anti Muslim bias on full display. That's San Francisco.
It's too hostile to gaze here. Be careful.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
I saw a lady yesterday and I thought she was
holding a monkey and it turned out it was a dog.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
H hand, they've seen monkey dog.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
And I said to the woman and I said, I
thought you were holding a monkey. And she looked at
me like I was crazy. And both my kids said, Dad,
that didn't look anything like a monkey.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
So I don't know. Anyway, I hope she gets her
dog rough Greens so it looks less monkey like. It's
a great story though. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Rough Greens is America's number one dog supplement. You sprinkle
right on their food. It's packed with probiotics, enzyme, so
mega oils, and over twenty live vitamins and minerals to
support digestion, energy, and overall health from the inside out.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
All about you making your dog live longer and happier. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
I love the fact that it's made in the USA
and the fact that you can try it for nothing.
Jumpstart Trial bag is free. All you do is cover
the shipping. Go to Roughgreens dot com and use a
discount code Armstrong. That's are you f f greens dot
com discount code armstrong. Give it to your monkey who cares.
I won't do it any harm. Most dog owners don't
realize the live nutrients and their dog that their dog needs,
(28:18):
the thrives probably missing from their food. Roughgreens dot com.
Use that code Armstrong. Roughgreens They make any dog food better.
I like talking to people because my kid. It embarrasses
my kids just to no end. Yeah, my teenagers and
they and they often say, Dad, is that that's the
most old man thing you've ever said to anyone?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Perfect?
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Keep going well, that means you got to keep pushing
the bounds. You got to keep sitting records.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Hey.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Final thought on the World Cup this from the Washington Post.
Public health officials has spent years preparing for the tournaments.
Because you got a bunch of furriners right with their
fern diseases coming to our land and then trading it
amongst each other. And they say impola and hantavirus are
not what anybody's worried about, speaking of bit, but they
(29:02):
are really keeping their eyes out for measles, dengay, and
respiratory viruses and sexually transmitted infections that are already circulating. Well,
I'm not going to get the sexually transmitted ones, but
so could I get down with that attitude?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
You're not.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
You could absolutely get deng gay. I don't know if
I'm inoculated against that. I got a measle shot one
sixty years ago, so I should be good. Isn't dingay
Mosquito born so tropical disease? Yes, indeed, Puerto Rico has
recently experienced major dengay activity. USA place Paraguay Friday so
far in Los Angeles, where the Chargers and Rams play,
(29:45):
whoop those Paraguayans. We're send them back home we're supposed
to or much more high. It would be a crazy
upset for us to lose. We've got mail bag on
the way and lots about the news.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Stay here.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
By the way, I mentioned USA taking on Paraguay Friday.
It is sofi Stadium. But for the World Cup Soccer,
it's not Sofi Stadium. It's Los Angeles Stadium. Oh yeah,
because they didn't pay for the rights for during this event,
so it has a different name. So we'll call it
Los Angeles Stadium during the World Cup. Fair enough, here's
your freedom loving quote of the day, sent along by
(30:25):
JT as a gift to the good people of Los Angeles.
Now that the wise people of LA have chosen their
two mayoral finalists, two famous quotes come to mind. First,
hl Menken famously, democracy is the theory that the common
people know what they want and deserve to get it
good and hard, or the great Joseph di Maestra, Every
(30:46):
nation or city gets the government it deserves. Although the
you know thirty percent who are sane are like, oh
my God, help us, help us now you can the
forty five percent that are saying and still get trampled
by the idiots, right.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Indeed, trampled by idiots. That's a bad way to go.
Mail Bag prop snow mail bag at Armstrong and gettiot
dot com on that topic. Good morning, Joe.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Right, Sir Brian, you remember a few months ago when
all those videos started surfacing about people registering junkies to vote.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
What do you think happened?
Speaker 4 (31:24):
All those ballots might be legal in California, but to
say these are free and fair elections as total horse crap.
I feel disenfranchised. When Jack makes noises like he's okay
with the primary election result, I cringe.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Can we keep some perspective here? Some matter? Sorry, I
think it was stolen.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
It's just that's that's that's that's the people getting what
they want. Good and hard could be. On the other hand,
and I want to get into this, nearly twelve hundred
people registered to vote with their address being a homeless
shelter on skid row that has one hundred and thirty
two beds.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Twelve ballots were then delivered to that homeless shelter and
they were harvested and returned.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Nice process.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
By the way, we're talking to Steve Hilton, who is
going to be running against a Democrat for governor. We'll
talk to him an hour, two hour two indeed, how
about this? Oh boy, did we get a lot of
email on this topic. Michael, you're ready for this, Barry right.
It took me most of the day not yet to
get that voice out of my head. You know which one,
(32:29):
the guy question Mark who vetted Platner. Well, at least
we now have a perfect replacement for Scott Pelley. Welcome back,
Michael Angelou says. And then this Sarah and Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Please no more of p hustles Eddie non Vetter the here.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
No, not yet, not yet, Michael. I'm sorry I pointed
at you. I was pointing at Jack. How clever is
that Eddie non vetter? Yes, yes, vetter who sounds like
an emasculated transparent stuck in the eternal interrogative. It's a
crime against ears and cerebral Cortexas.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
Part of our thesis here is that people do not
want their candidates grown in vets. They want people who
are real human beings, and they want people who do
not look and sound like the background people who've been
leading this country off a cliff for last century.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
And that was Graham the last century. Oh my god,
my testosterone just dropped thirty five points.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
By the way, that was one of the best sentences
I've ever heard. What was that about the stuck in
an interrogative parrot?
Speaker 7 (33:38):
Thing?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
That was really really good?
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Yes, absolutely terrific. Yeah, yeah, I will read it again.
Fans of the English language, I agree, please know more
of p. Hustle's Eddie non vetter, who sounds like an
emasculated transparent stuck in the eternal interrogative. It's a crime
against ears in cerebral cortexis really good courtesies apologize Sarah
(34:01):
in Kentucky very clever.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
That's beautiful Sarah.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
That's one of the finer sentences enunciated on the show,
and sometimes including the host.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
God knows, he may have the worst male voice I
have ever heard.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
It is so self consciously effeminate, vocal fry e up talkie, yeah,
oh my.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Gosh, stuck in the eternal interrogative. If he has kahone's
at all, they're like raisins.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
I assume that and had never done or said anything. Well,
I can only assume he's a Unich for some reason.
He had his testes room. So I saw the video yesterday.
He looks like he sounds oh yeah, oh weedy. He's
never driven by a nice, rare steak, even he's never
been in the same zip code, as as as some
(34:55):
decent protein. Wow, jeez. He always a dependable side show.
Bob weighing in on a different topic. I finally figure
out why these AI systems worry me. Oh coming up,
I think next Hour will squeeze this in sixteen noted
economists with their thoughts and predictions on how disruptive AI
will be to the economy. Super interesting anyway, side Joe
(35:19):
Bob Wright. So I finally figured out why these AI
systems worry me. I feel that are like the government.
They start with good intentions and a specific set of tasks,
but they quickly learn to grow and feed upon themselves
to become more integral to everyday life, until they direct
virtually everything we do. Took a couple one hundred years
for our government to accomplish this. I doubt it'll take
nearly that long for these AI models. Until then, though,
I can get seven hundred recipes for chocolate cake. True enough,
(35:43):
sidehovah or it diagnosed my medical Yeah, you got to
tell that story.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
That's really interesting. Yeah, I'm telling you amazing. Do we
have thirty seconds? It would take too long.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
So we're pretty proud to have Steve Hilton on the
day after he gets named one of the top two
finishers in the jungle.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
I'm Mary of California.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
If to be governor and we'll see where he is
now that he's running in the general election against Tavier
Bassera or what did Joe Biden, his boss call him
Javior baka, right, and they laughed him.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Out of the administration because he was so useless.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
Anyway, our two is going to be great. If you
don't get it. Gets the podcast Armstrong and Getty on
